Rainy Day & The Umbrella Factory

Not much to report - rain off and on today.  We did get to walk a few miles between showers in our campground and around the adjacent KOA campground.  Later we had to make a grocery run to the local grocery, "The Umbrella Factory".  This is  an interesting place as grocery stores go.  The place was never a factory and  has very little to do with umbrellas other than there are several hundred of them hanging from the ceiling.  I first thought maybe it was an inexpensive solution for a leaky roof but apparently it is a marketing thing. Hey, they got us to shop there and take pictures so I guess its working.   In addition to the umbrellas, the place is full of antiques, collectibles and memorabilia (on display, not for sale).   









Now, here is some true marketing brilliance - The UFO (Umbrella Factory Outlet) Dairy Bar and Liquor Store - great fun for the whole family!
